The 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C is the sports car that’s supposed to lead Alfa’s rebirth in the U.S. Sound familiar? Even so, the carbon fiber-bodied mid-engine 4C is a car we’ve got on our collective must-drive list, and before we get a chance to drive one, Alfa’s got to build them. To that end, Alfa Romeo has just released a new video that details the 2014 4C’s build process and shows test track footage of the car.

The video starts with the 4C’s carbon fiber center shell being put together. The shell, which will eventually have to bear the weight of the engine, transmission, suspension, and bodywork, is put together by hand and then baked in a high-pressure, vacuum-sealed oven.

Next we watch as the rest of the chassis is bolted to the carbon fiber shell. The supporting structure of the chassis is added, and then the builders bolt on the 4C’s body panels and send the car to be painted. After paint, the body panels are removed again so that the suspension, engine, and transmission can be mated to the car. Soon enough, we’ve got a complete car ready for testing.
